Chapter 647: I Want a Champion

The lawyer handed it to Andy, and Andy's curved corner became more obvious. He picked up the pen and started signing a document, which looked delicious in front of him with the Western meal. After signing it, he changed it again. After a few moments, it was finally done.

“Congratulations, Andy! It belongs to you!” Alexander stood up and looked at the tall young man in front of him, finally reaching out and saying a little dull.

Andy smiled and shook him, lifting his hand behind his back, his little assistant white face with excitement red, put a check in the hands of the Great Demon King, Andy smiled and sewed up his eyes and handed him the check. “It belongs to you too! ”

“It's worth the price, isn't it? And not high.” Alexander's frustration with the loss of everything was swept away by the presence of this check.

“$360 million, that's not the average price this time of year.” Andy looked at him and said that even if his heart had blossomed, he showed great restraint on his face.

He knows better than anyone what the value of the NBA team will grow to in the future, the depreciation of the dollar, the scarcity of high-quality assets has led to a huge increase in value, and thinking about being a dead fast fleet owner, when forced out of the league, he can actually sell $2 billion, which is bullshit.

“Hope the Rocket Squad is better in your hands!” Alexander sighed softly, and his old face appeared slightly faint, he said.

“Yes, you know, Texas is my hometown, and I naturally want my hometown team to be better, or a dynasty.” Andy smiled and said.

“I'll see. As a loyal fan of rockets.” Alexander doesn't care if Andy casually says that he knew what Andy was up to when he bought the Rocket Squad, that the Smiths roots were in Texas, and that political families for more than a hundred years needed publicity to increase the impact of the new era.

After the two had unwrapped their tightly held hands, the others in the conference room clapped under Granada's guidance, and Andy turned around with a confident smile on his face for a week, nodding slightly.

And former boss Alexander left the conference room without stopping, with his own lawyer and bodyguard. Old Jing, now the rocket belongs to this young man, the new king is on board, needs to receive visits from old and new subordinates, he left intelligently.

Andy walked to the top seat of the conference table, patted his hand on the back of the chair in the boss's chair, smiled and sat down, reaching out and making a depressed gesture and saying: "Sit down. ”

Andy looked at Bob Miles, who was not sitting next to him, and said, "Bob, go get Coach Donnelson. ”

“Okay, boss.” Bob wasn't in trouble because of the boss's instructions, but he was happy that it was definitely a trust in the workplace.

In the waiting void, Andy looked at the management of every former rocket squad sitting here, and finally looked at Darryl Morey's face, and he could clearly see that Morey's general manager was not really surprised. After all, he had Andy Smith's reputation outside, firing squid was never a direct act of mercy, without worrying about ghosts.

But Andy wasn't really going to fire this Moray, the data expert, except for the sickness in the players' operations, who did a good job of making rockets make over $100 million a year, which is definitely a tough thing to do in other heavily indebted teams.

And Andy didn't fire him for the most important reason, Moray only took office for six months, just to get the team straight. His only backstage before was boss Alexander, who now has none, and Moray, who has no roots, could easily be surrendered by him.

Soon Bob walked in with old Nelson, a mad scientist, and Andy stood up with a smile and shook his hand for a few words before reaching out to indicate that he was sitting in an empty fourth position on his right.

“First of all, there will be a celebration tonight at the JW Marriott Hotel, when you will not miss your appointment. By the way, I almost forgot, I know what you are worried about. I am not dissatisfied with the Rocket Team management for the time being, so no one will be fired, you can rest assured. ”

Andy smiled and looked around for a week, and the tone dropped. Although he didn't see the obvious expression and relief, the tension that had existed in the conference room earlier dissipated.

“The second thing, Morley, this is Bob Morse, and you should be familiar, he's going to be the Operations Director of the Rocket Squad, and the first thing you need to do next is get the Rocket Squad Doctors out of here. Didn't they say the Sun Squad has a very high level of medical care? Bob, go dig it up! Houston is a medical center all over the United States, but the level of the team doctors is being criticized, which is intolerable to me, Moray, and you're going to start preparing a team of sports medical experts, and I think that's okay for you? ”

Moray's previously strained nerves have relaxed and his brilliant brain has returned to work, answering without hesitation: "No questions asked! ”

Andy was very pleased with Moray's attitude and nodded with a smile: "Don't worry about the money, I once said that I'm not good at running teams, but making money is what I'm best at, and the Rocket team, like any other team I own, will invest $100 million. ”

The voice just came down, I don't know who was excited to start clapping, then the people in the conference room began to show excited and warm applause, Andy had a brighter smile on his face, and the gaze of admiration looked at Bob Miles, the first to clap, slightly lowered his head.

“Donnelson, our mad scientist, I'm sure no one knows him. He's our new head coach, and he's been bothering the coach ever since.” After that, Andy took the lead, applause again in the conference room, Donnelson's credentials were there, and who could underestimate the lead coach who changed the rules of the league, although he had never won a championship ring?

Next was the appointment of the head of the Treasury Department, but before that, his think tank had already assigned financial staff to the Rocket Team Treasury Department, so it was just a walk away.

The vast majority of positions are the same as the original ones. After all, the team management team of the rockets is still good, and the whole coalition is in the fifth place. If not necessary, a smooth transition is good.

At the end of the meeting, Andy sat in the boss's chair, watching a few important rocket squads lined up in front of him, smiling and saying, "Morley, what do you say I buy the whole Toyota Center stadium? ”

“Hiss--”

Everyone here, except for Granada, who bought teams like Moray and Bob Kells and coach Old Nelson, who personally spent money like running water, all had the feeling of seeing a real rich man. Nima, this is called a rich man. Everything wants to be their own, really good money.

“If the boss wants, it's not hard, we have 21 percent stake in the rocket itself, the rest is in the hands of the city, the key is the price, and Toyota spent $100 million on a permanent title. This part of the money will be difficult to acquire, and the city won't necessarily let go.” Moray was excited, after all, that it was a venue that had only been built for four years, and it was still worth a lot.

“What was the cost of this stadium? ”

“For $235 million, we gave over 40 million to spend 10 years for free. ”

Andy nodded and glanced at Granada and said, "You're in charge of this. Our sports investment company can't even have a venue. Toyota's $100 million name fee makes it hard for the city to spit it out, so suppress the price. ”

“I understand.” Granada nodded.

“Coach, let me get this straight. I want the championship. I don't care about luxury taxes. I want to look good. I want the championship. ”

Old Nelson's forehead came out of the black line, his mouth ripped, his teeth felt, his head turned to Morey, general manager of Big Smile Company, and Bob Miles, the new director of team operations.
